Well, I already had the honor to review SANGUIS’ first strike “Chaosgate Guardians” and what can I say? Of course these creatures of the night didn’t change their style one single inch. Maybe they slightly added more mid-pace but that doesn’t really provoke any negative criticism as it makes the songs a little more memorable […]
Furious! Only 3 years after SANGUIS was founded and with only one demo called “Mortal Art Of Blood” in their history, their full-length debut album “Chaosgate Guardians” is released via Supreme Chaos Records. And they deserve it as the band consists of excellent musicians and songwriters! These Austrians play Black Metal in its original spirit. […]
SANGUINEOUS, a two-piece which rose after the demise of the brutal Australian band EXCARNATED, returns to the scene with their second recording after 2007’s MCD “Extinguish The Dying Light of Serenity”. This time with a tape (cool!) containing four bludgeoning compositions. Please ignore the totally misleading review of said MCD on these pages, SANGUINEOUS sound […]
It took me some time to make my mind clear about this self-produced mini-album, but I do not change my opinion that I got after the second time listening to “Extinguish The Dying Light Of Serenity”. From my point of view it is a killer-release, one of the most enjoyable albums I have been listening […]
Bearing in mind the ultimate talent in tracking down crap and garbage, the persons behind Neon Knights (ex-Last Episode) have shown until today, and I only like to remind you have such hopefuls of German Black Metal like MYSTIC CIRCLE, ANDRAS, ISEGRIM, AEBA and dozens more who have emerged from that label, I must admit […]
Back in the 80s, when I was still searching for new Metal releases at various stores in my area, I probably would’ve bought this album right away, without even hearing a single note of it… The reason is the excellent coverart (courtesy of Alcides Junior / Burn Art) which captures the overall atmosphere of this […]
In Metal as in life you meet at least twice and the last cooperation of Peter TÃĪgtgren and Emperor Magus Caligula is responsible for one of the best Death Metal releases ever – HYPOCRISY’s “Osculum Obscenum”. Fifteen years later the Swedish terror commando SANCTIFICATION has summoned both maniacs for the recording of their second release […]
I really appreciate the fact that after many years of annoying melodic “Death” Metal releases, brutality has finally returned to the Swedish scene with full force! And with SANCTIFICATION we can add another great act to this constantly growing list! This fourpiece, which consists of members from DERANGED, DEFACED CREATION and AEON, got together in […]
If you’re feeling down or depressed these days you gotta make sure to check out the second album by the Slovakian fourpiece SANATORIUM! I was listening to “Internal Womb Cannibalism” for the first (and last…) time while driving alone with my car. Big mistake, cause now everyone who witnessed me that particular day will probably […]
I don’t seem to be getting in the mood for this CD. I tried, though. Straight forward classic Metal you’d expect to be coming from Britain in the 80s with sort of extreme vocals. One thing is certain: these guys from Finland (judging from their names) are totally into their stuff and that’s important. Completely […]
